Abstract
This research was about the motor development of children. This studying investigated children's motor development status and studied the families and parent effects on preschool aged children's motor development.
Methods: the methodology of this research was Descriptive-correlation (Structural Equation Modeling). The participants were 150 Childs with 4-6 aged (65/56±8/55 month old) and their mothers (34/38±5/81 years old) that lived in Eastern Azerbaijan, SARAB city, and chosen by cluster sampling. The equipment was demographic questionnaire, Godratnama socioeconomic questionnaire, the short form of International Physical Activity (IPAQ-sf) questionnaire, and short form of the second edition of motor proficiency of Bruininks-Oseretsky (BOT2-Sf) test. All data analyzed by SPSS16 and Smart PLS3 soft-wares.
Results: the results showed that: the motor development of children was lower than average (28/85±11/156). The socioeconomic status of families had a positive and significant effect on motor development of children (β=0/425, p<0/000), but hadn’t positive and significant effect on mother's physical activity (β=0/076, p<0/348). Also, the mother's physical activity had significant effect on motor development of children (β=0/204, p<0/011). It means that direct effect of socioeconomic status on motor development of children was significant, but non-direct effect of it was not (by mediation of mothers physical activity) wasn’t significant.
Conclusion: The status of children's motor development was not optimal. The families' socioeconomic status was as a stimulus for children's motor development, but as a preventive for mothers' physical activity, and the mother's physical activities had a facilitator role on motor development of children. Then it seems that the financial or time support of families or modelling of mothers can facilitate the motor development of children.
